Chapter 511: Ascending to the Dominator Realm
"Xiao Tiance, you cannot ally with the Heavenly Evil God. If you want to ascend to the dominator realm, I will help you."
Within the void space, the Plane Embryo of the Great Thousand World spoke urgently. It was clear from its tone that it was genuinely panicked.
If Xiao Tiance truly joined forces with the Heavenly Evil God, it would spell disaster for the Plane Embryo. After all, as the Plane Embryo of the Great Thousand World, it was fully aware of the Heavenly Evil God's current state, even in his sealed condition.
Initially, the Plane Embryo had planned to devour the Plane Embryo within Xiao Tiance's body and then provide him some form of compensation. Killing Xiao Tiance outright was never part of the plan.
Since Xiao Tiance had transcended the Saint tier Heavenly Supreme rank, the Plane Embryo knew it could no longer kill him outright. Additionally, as the pillar supporting the fight against the external demon horde, Xiao Tiance's death would leave the Great Thousand World vulnerable to invasion.
Negotiations Resume
Facing the visibly anxious Plane Embryo, Xiao Tiance smirked.
**"I'm in no hurry. Whether you help me or not doesn't matter. The Heavenly Evil God breaking his seal is only a matter of time.
And as for time, it's something I have plenty of. You can refuse me all you want when the time comes, I'll simply join forces with the Heavenly Evil God."**
**"Enough, Xiao Tiance! There's no need for such reckless words. I apologize for my earlier actions.
To show my sincerity, those ten Fire Essences will serve as my compensation."**
With a wave of its hand, the Plane Embryo made all the surrounding elemental forces dissipate. Ten gleaming Fire Essences floated toward Xiao Tiance.
A Surprising Gift
Looking at the Fire Essences before him, Xiao Tiance felt a surge of excitement. Just two Fire Essences would be enough to elevate his Golden Emperor Burning Flame to a power surpassing an Emperor Flame.
The remaining eight could be given to members of the White Jade Capital, significantly boosting their strength. After all, Fire Essences were invaluable treasures for cultivators of fire based techniques.
"Very well, I'll accept your gesture of goodwill."
With a nod, Xiao Tiance quickly enveloped the Fire Essences with his spiritual energy and stored them in his spatial ring.
Watching Xiao Tiance's swift and decisive actions, the Plane Embryo couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration. It now realized that Xiao Tiance's earlier words about allying with the Heavenly Evil God were likely nothing more than a ploy.
But while the Fire Essences were precious, they weren't enough to cause the Plane Embryo much heartache.
Steps to Ascend
**"Good. As I promised, I will help you ascend to the dominator realm.
To do so, you'll need sufficient origin energy from a Plane Embryo. The Plane Embryo within you is from a small thousand world, but if you can absorb additional origin energy, you will have the qualifications to ascend."**
At this point, the Plane Embryo hesitated momentarily, a reluctant expression crossing its face. Finally, it waved its hand, and several globes of radiant energy appeared, each glowing with a unique hue.
**"As you can see, this origin energy does not belong to me.
However, you need not worry about being deceived. These energies have already been assimilated into my essence and can function as my own origin.
Absorb them, and you should be able to take the final step into the dominator realm."**
Reluctance flickered in its gaze as it threw the globes of origin energy toward Xiao Tiance.
A Crucial Caveat
"One more thing," the Plane Embryo added. **"I wasn't lying earlier. Within the Great Thousand World, the will of the heavens forbids non native beings from ascending to the dominator realm first.
You'll need to find another place to break through.
The Plane Embryo within you originates from your birthplace. If you return there, your chances of success will significantly improve."**
Ling'er Absorbs the Power
As Xiao Tiance caught the spheres of origin energy, Ling'er suddenly flew out from his body, eagerly devouring several of the globes.
Watching her rapid absorption, Xiao Tiance smiled and made no attempt to stop her.
The Plane Embryo, however, couldn't hide its greedy gaze upon seeing Ling'er. Its desire to devour her was nearly uncontrollable.
But a cold snort from Xiao Tiance brought it back to its senses. Reluctantly, it withdrew its gaze and said, **"No wonder you refused to let me devour her she's bound to you by a soul contract.
This simplifies things. Once she absorbs these origin energies, she can directly enhance you, sparing you the trouble of assimilating them yourself.
Finally, here is the insight needed to reach the dominator realm. Study it carefully, and it should guide you to success."**
The Plane Embryo tossed over a shimmering sphere of light, which Xiao Tiance caught with gratitude.
A Warning
"I hope," the Plane Embryo said coldly, "that after your ascension, you will not align yourself with the Heavenly Evil God. His origins are shrouded in mystery. One wrong step, and all life in the Great Thousand World including you will perish."
With those words, the Plane Embryo waved its hand. The void space collapsed, and its figure vanished.
Preparing for Ascension
Scanning his surroundings, Xiao Tiance confirmed that the Plane Embryo was gone. A smirk played on his lips. "Close call. I almost fell into its trap."
Turning to Ling'er, who had now grown to nearly a foot tall, he asked, "Ling'er, how are you feeling?"
Ling'er beamed with excitement. "Master, my origin energy has been fully restored!"
Return to the Dou Qi Continent
Overjoyed, Xiao Tiance nodded. Ling'er's origin had long been damaged, and despite their efforts across the Great Thousand World, they'd found few remnants to restore her. Now, with the Plane Embryo's contribution, she was finally whole again.
"Master," Ling'er said eagerly, "I feel stronger than ever. If we return to the Dou Qi Continent, I believe we'll encounter an incredible surprise."
"Very well. Let's go," Xiao Tiance agreed. "I'll need time to digest the insights anyway."
Three Years Later
On the Dou Qi Continent, within the same void where Xiao Tiance first encountered Ling'er, a massive spiritual array erupted, towering into the sky.
Countless streams of heavenly energy swirled together, forming vortexes that fed into the array.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Heaven and earth trembled as Xiao Tiance began his final push toward the dominator realm.
Within the spiritual formation, waves of energy pulsed outward repeatedly. With each pulse, the aura of the three figures sitting cross legged at the center grew increasingly formidable.
Hundreds of waves rippled through the space, and finally, after one last, immensely powerful pulse, the three figures simultaneously opened their eyes.
"Swish!"
Golden beams of light shot forth from their eyes, as piercing as lasers, filling the atmosphere with an awe inspiring intensity.
The figure at the center smiled and said, "Finally, the last step. I wonder how much time has passed in the outside world."
Ling'er's Arrival
At that moment, a streak of light darted toward them it was none other than Ling'er.
The three figures were, of course, Xiao Tiance and his two clones.
"Congratulations, Master!" Ling'er said cheerfully as she circled Xiao Tiance in excitement.
Xiao Tiance extended his palm, and Ling'er landed softly on it. Stroking her tiny head affectionately, he said,
**"Ling'er, my strength, along with that of my two clones, is now just a hair's breadth away from the Dominator Realm.
Are you ready? Once we succeed, you and I will truly merge into one you will be me, and I will be you.
But if we fail, not only will our powers regress severely, but there is also a high likelihood that both of us will perish."**
Ling'er nodded firmly, her expression unwavering.
**"Master, Ling'er has been ready for a long time.
From the moment I signed the soul contract with you, your dreams became my dreams.
Although this final step is fraught with danger, success will not only elevate my origin to its peak but might even allow the Dou Qi Continent to evolve from a small thousand world to a great thousand world.
So, Master, whatever you need me to do, Ling'er will cooperate fully!"**
Hearing this, Xiao Tiance nodded with determination.
**"Good. Then let's not delay any longer.
I can't shake the feeling that the Heavenly Evil God's seal is nearing its breaking point.
Let's hope we succeed in one go."**
"We will, Master!" Ling'er said confidently.
Final Farewell to the Clones
Turning to his two clones, Xiao Tiance said calmly, "Your mission is complete. Farewell."
The two clones smiled warmly and replied, "Farewell, Main Body."
In the next moment, Xiao Tiance's hands formed a series of complex seals. After completing dozens of hand signs, he shouted, "Unite!"
Golden light radiated from the two clones, and this light was absorbed into Xiao Tiance's body.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
As the golden light merged into him, Xiao Tiance's aura grew exponentially stronger.
Since the clones and the main body shared the same origin, the merging process was seamless, requiring no additional steps for assimilation.
The Final Push
"Boom!"
When the last glimmers of golden light dissipated, Xiao Tiance exuded an aura of divine majesty, appearing untouchable and sacred.
Turning to Ling'er, he called out, "Ling'er, it's time."
"Understood, Master!" Ling'er responded, then flew straight into the center of Xiao Tiance's forehead.
At that moment, it was as if the heavens themselves stood still. An unfathomable amount of spiritual energy poured into the formation from all directions, surging into Xiao Tiance's body.
Chaos on the Dou Qi Continent
Across the Dou Qi Continent, chaos erupted.
"What's happening? Why is all the spiritual energy spiraling out of control?"
"What's going on? Is this a calamity?"
All cultivators found themselves helpless as the spiritual energy within their bodies surged out uncontrollably, merging with the torrent converging toward Xiao Tiance's location.
This wasn't just ordinary spiritual energy it was the transformed energy of the Dou Qi Continent.
After Xiao Xuan had fully opened the spatial passage connecting the Dou Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World, the influx of spiritual energy had gradually replaced the continent's original Dou Qi.
Though the continent retained its name, it had become indistinguishable from any realm in the Great Thousand World.
Worldwide Reverberations
The transformation of the Dou Qi Continent triggered widespread concern. Messages about the sudden energy anomaly rapidly spread to powerhouses in White Jade Capital and the Endless Flame Domain.
Yet Xiao Tiance remained unaware of these developments.
Traversing Memories
Xiao Tiance was immersed in what felt like a dream or perhaps, a vivid recollection.
He relived scenes of his life, from his birth to his countless battles and breakthroughs. Every moment flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
Eventually, a deafening clap of thunder shattered the illusion. Countless bolts of lightning rained down from the void, striking his body.
Storms, torrential rain, searing flames, and trembling earth accompanied the lightning, creating a cacophony of natural disasters in the void.
Finally, as if the world itself had taken a deep breath, all phenomena ceased. The formation remained intact, but Xiao Tiance's figure had vanished.
The Dawn of the Dominator
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an earth shattering aura swept across the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World alike.
Every living being, from cultivators to mortals, was paralyzed by an invisible, overwhelming pressure.
At the center of the formation, golden light began to condense, gradually forming Xiao Tiance's figure.
Beside him appeared a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old none other than Ling'er, now in human form.
"Hahaha! We did it!" Xiao Tiance laughed heartily.
Retrieving two sets of clothing from his spatial ring, he tossed one to Ling'er. After they dressed, Ling'er's cheeks flushed red, and she leapt into Xiao Tiance's arms with unrestrained joy.
"Master, we truly succeeded! The Dou Qi Continent is beginning its transformation into a great thousand world!"
Hugging her tightly, Xiao Tiance smiled.
**"Yes. At this rate, the Dou Qi Continent's boundaries are expanding rapidly.
In just a month, it will reach the vastness of the Great Thousand World.
Congratulations, Ling'er."**
